If there's one thing Rider hated, it was crowds.It wasn't that she was nervous of them, or their greedy, constant stares. It was that people simply irritated her. 956Please respect copyright.PENANA7XPBtIsfdJ
956Please respect copyright.PENANA1rmGBfr0TU
It was like an annoying rash. Dealing with them, talking to them, explaining the smallest of concepts to them was harder than force feeding a dragon it's vegetables. Honestly, at this point she'd probably prefer the dragon. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAjgh3TGs2PD
956Please respect copyright.PENANAC7yEib4c5J
The large spotlight beaming down on her made her scars itch, despite being entirely clad in black for that very purpose. From her boots to her longcoat to her wide brimmed hat, she looked a mix of a pirate who just stumbled out of the Wild West. Tugging at the collar of her fully upturned coat, she tried to submerge herself in the alcohol soaked leather but by this point, the overly jazzy music had began to play and Rider knew she was screwed. 956Please respect copyright.PENANA0pldLxHr8j
956Please respect copyright.PENANAXeqf1i40LP
Her eyes widened in surprise before returning to its unamused stare, which was capable of rendering any pompous politician speechless. Unfortunately, in this case it was not a random annoying bug of a stranger that she could squash under her boot. It was the Hydra twins. 956Please respect copyright.PENANADRUrPlclwy

"Hello, good people of Para Dormus! Welcome to the greatest talent show on this side of the Divide!" 956Please respect copyright.PENANAjEXsLEfT62
956Please respect copyright.PENANAptULWBHrrv
The two middle aged men announced, adorned in aqua marine bedazzled blazers, embedded with the letter N and C.956Please respect copyright.PENANAFt9yXpEpK0

"We'd like to welcome our fifth act of the night in this spectacular character talent show!" Chase exclaimed dramatically, throwing in a cheesy grin and a dramatic jazz hand sections alongside his twin brother, Nate.956Please respect copyright.PENANAPDVfLqE9GV
956Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRTDfuxsR
Rider growled, not unlike the sound of a raging dragon as the light continued to blaze, draining what energy she had left.956Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Y6zQNIvn
956Please respect copyright.PENANA3jrQbNUGGx
"You half jacked son of a legless goat! When I get out of here, you are SO dead to me! I'll-"956Please respect copyright.PENANASPEyW3Bsah
956Please respect copyright.PENANAdaBTvQnYCW
"Our fifth act for this evening is our very own Captain of the Night Force, the Scourge of the Skies herself, RIDER!" Nate interrupted smoothly, attempting to avoid anything higher than a PG rating for the little kiddies at home. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAHBslzqu07E
956Please respect copyright.PENANA1ORM0nHjT9
"Now then, Rider. What is your chosen talent for this evening?" Chase continued, glancing quickly at his watch as his pleading gaze burned a hole in her forehead.956Please respect copyright.PENANABbNP9CF42w
956Please respect copyright.PENANAO3P9WruTIZ
She stared at them, utterly astounded as if they had just asked her to eat her own foot. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAuCXJDdNPiC
956Please respect copyright.PENANA9vrvGF9LEC
"What, in Hell's name are you talking about?" 956Please respect copyright.PENANAhBxzbKmmvy
956Please respect copyright.PENANAkw4hlGbDOJ
Nate resisted the urge to face palm and continued to smile winningly for the audience. So much for the PG rating.956Please respect copyright.PENANAueNedDQ2ur
956Please respect copyright.PENANAFE1c0qnV7q
"Your talent, dear Captain. What can you do that sets you apart from the rest?"956Please respect copyright.PENANA3oHhSg90k4
956Please respect copyright.PENANADOz99twrs5
Rider raised an eyebrow, slowly taking off her hat as the chilling scar across her face was there for all to see. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAvr1EDHNPpY
956Please respect copyright.PENANAs2mHS4DD7G
"Other than putting up with you two?"956Please respect copyright.PENANABOTY6zwt3p
956Please respect copyright.PENANAFFNtSqnBd5
Chase suppressed a chuckle thanks to his brother elbowing him in the ribs. 956Please respect copyright.PENANA5nRZPBtU47
956Please respect copyright.PENANAzuLZD7TWeP
Nate gave a wan smile, getting more and more aggravated, he tried one last time.956Please respect copyright.PENANAbCuPA5ouKV
956Please respect copyright.PENANAoE4ikkR2xr
"Please. Your talent, contestant No. 5."956Please respect copyright.PENANA3MRQD8xWHq
956Please respect copyright.PENANATB2bkk0kw0
Rider pondered for a moment, returning her hat on its rightful place on her head with a chilling smile.956Please respect copyright.PENANAKco19NNieh
956Please respect copyright.PENANAR6XeZmKIRy
"I can make people disappear."956Please respect copyright.PENANAeOG0IPBpUE
956Please respect copyright.PENANALdpcDLtlXQ
Nate visibly gulped, a cold sweat running down his neck as he bravely took a step back. Any sane person would have realised that when someone as formidable as her takes off her jacket despite being submerged in nausea inducing lights that the best thing to do in that moment...956Please respect copyright.PENANAwwYG207uLn
956Please respect copyright.PENANAgiI7HeGOgE
Is to run.956Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q5gGiuclt
956Please respect copyright.PENANAC36Lt764Ub
The twins bolted off the stage as the stage lights cut out in a matter of seconds, leaving them blind amidst the endless darkness. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAY8EsURF6pg
956Please respect copyright.PENANA8anbfJUSY5
"I warned you, boys. You're dead to me now."956Please respect copyright.PENANAhEFj47MUix

The shadows swarmed towards her as she let out a sigh of relief, the light now completely snuffed out. The shadows still lingered close, forming a large, unrecognisable object. Rider slumped down on the hardwood floor, eying her two quivering companions still traumatised by the events of the last few minutes. She let out a snort which soon turned to bouts of wheezing laughter which had Rider doubling up from hysteria. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAy5lCBJ1Zxk
956Please respect copyright.PENANAN5UTmWgnFq
The shadows soon formed a large behemoth of a dragon, scarred much in the same manner that Rider was but with a much less sinister greeting, for a dragon, at least.956Please respect copyright.PENANAVBkBpJXecX
956Please respect copyright.PENANAA90i7XAtGg
"Having fun?" He quipped, his large jaw resting against the floor. 956Please respect copyright.PENANA8WEDsNhjc1
956Please respect copyright.PENANA0POaSxcAia
Rider couldn't respond, still caught up in a fit of giggles which would last for weeks back home. 956Please respect copyright.PENANAbiwqNUL15Z
956Please respect copyright.PENANAKf8x6ZDwJF
"Hey, Night."956Please respect copyright.PENANA4GDRSHPltY
956Please respect copyright.PENANABI38M0QZfI
Eventually, she composed herself enough to drive the point home as the two utterly mortified hosts remained in the confines of the stage curtains, still glittering like sad little rain clouds.956Please respect copyright.PENANAdxgy0jjb75
956Please respect copyright.PENANACs4qQLVo72
"I told you I could make them disappear." She grinned up at the obsidian dragon, pulling out a carrot from her pocket. 956Please respect copyright.PENANA4jFdHtd1AS
956Please respect copyright.PENANAM1FORp04hs
Nightshade rolled his eyes at his partner, hoping that next time they decided to enter someone into a talent show, they'd bring a more willing participant.956Please respect copyright.PENANAJDdoV7RckG
